The "Godfather".Thats what they call me. Some even say there's a "Soprano" resemblance. I dont see it. I've been doing mornings here since 1987. In radio years, that qualifies me to be a Jurassic Park exhibit, I think. But having Blacksmith, Roadkill, Laura, and Kelly there each morning keeps it fun. We hope it does for you too....
As for me - I'm just a normal guy in an abnormal job. I've got a great wife, 2 great kids, and a job that lets me play for a living. Yeah, that doesn't suck.....
Hope you enjoy the page- and if you got questions - then ask em! I'll try to answer all of em once I get em!
And keep checking back - because I add stuff all the time.Email me: greg@morningbuzz.com
Best,

Personality Bio

Heres some random stuff about me, in no particular order:
Im a normal guy , in an abnormal job. I'm a NH guy, born and raised. I have a wife (Valerie) and two kids (Caitlin and Tyler) - and because of them, Im the luckiest guy in the world. UNH Graduate (84) and proud of it. I was the audio/visual aide in high school - so if you're overhead projector needed fixin' - I got the call over the p.a. (Mad props to all my A/V geeks out there!) I've been doing mornings since 1987 - and believe it or not - I still really enjoy it. Its great getting to come in to work everyday- work with the people I do, and talking to and with all of you tuning in! We try to make the show like you were entering into your living room, and all of your friends are there. Its casual, fluid, and sometimes famous people drop in. Relax....and pull up a chair. Welcome.
Things and people Im a fan of: Sinatra, The UNH Wildcats, the Sox-Patriots-Bruins, fried clams, U2, photography, racing, The Beatles, Larry the Cable Guy, Shephards Pie (with cream corn. any other way is communist), Tom Bergeron, Aerosmith, Bobby Orr, Carlton Fisk, Dale Jr, youth sports, Dan Brown, reading the Sunday papers out on the deck on a Sunday morning, coffee - not the fancy shit.....just coffee, making a difference, Field of Dreams, The Office, Old School, A Mighty Wind, Blacksmith, Roadkill, Laura and Kelly.
Things Im NOT a fan of: Clowns - I hate em ("We all float down here") . Door to door salesman (sorry bro, I dont come to your house and broadcast in your living room during dinner, do I?). Crazy pet people (ie: people with 5 cats). Blue Toothers who never take off their earpiece (its not cool, Gordon Gekko - its pretentious). Cheese (except on nachos and pizza). Negative people (you know, who hate and criticize everything), and Those who are more concerned with what they dont have - and forgetting about the things they do have. Trust me, theres more - but i'll keep it short!
Oh yeah - one more: The kid who played "Beans" on the show "Even Stevens". I hate that kid. I know. Its not right....but its true. I cant hide it.
Bottom line is, I get up in the morning, and go to a job I enjoy doing, and when its done - I come home to my family. Dont get any better than that, does it?

More Bald Eagles....
I'm not a bird watcher. Never had any interest. I will, however, sit for two hours watching Bald Eagles. I've been lucky enough to be introduced to a few places where they can be seen - on the condition that I don't reveal the location.
On Saturday, I got a chance to see a mother feeding her babies in the nest, while the father perched about 100 yards away. A friend loaned me a 400mm lens, and I shot the baby shots on a tripod, in manual focus mode. I couldn't believe I was getting to watch what I was seeing. I could even see the babies getting fed by the mother!
Thanks to the friends that made these shots possible. It was an amazing day.
Mother and children...
Feeding time.
I think what's so amazing about this - is that we've never had Bald Eagles in New England before. I have family in Washington state- and it's such a common sight there, it's no big thing for them to see them. It's a thrill for me! There is no equal to the Bald Eagle! The wing span of this mother is 7 FEET WIDE!!! And to watch her feed the babies was a huge thrill....
Dad leaves his perch to head back to the nest...
The male Bald Eagle is smaller than the female. Still, this wingspn is impressive when it flies by you. It's probably 5 ft in width. I took this shot without a tripod, as the bird swooped down out of the tree and flew right to left. For me, it's not a good shot unless you can clearly see the eyes. The details in the feathers are a huge bonus...
This is a lucky shot. Panning right to left, just as he went behind some branches - I got lucky to catch him.
After Dad checks on Mom and the kids, he's off to hunt again.
This is just 6 of the 194 shots I took. As I rode home on the Harley - all I could think was that if ONE came out well - my day would be made.
Thankfully, one did, and it was.

Thursday Morning, Outside Our Studio....
The Creek. Driving in at 4am this morning, I knew it'd be this kind of morning.
Sometimes, during a break in the show, I'll head outside for a couple of minutes just to look at it. Just a couple of minutes looking at something like this can do wonders. Pretty cool to just sit and watch. And if you happen to have a camera in hand, of course, do a little shooting.
